Dear John - Today, on World Humanitarian Day, thousands of children just a few hundred miles from the United States urgently need help from humanitarians like you. A major earthquake struck Haiti over the weekend. Teams from Save the Children are on the ground working to provide desperately needed food, shelter, clean water, and other supplies to help get them through this crisis. They will then stay in affected communities for years to come to help children get the support they need to rebuild their lives after the crisis is over. We must step up to help support this critical work. Please donate generously today to support Save the Children’s Haiti Emergency Fund. - Christy Gleason Executive Director Save the Children Action Network | |
Friend, the reports and images coming out of Haiti after Saturday’s 7.2 magnitude earthquake are devastating. Hundreds of people are dead, and many more are injured or missing. Schools, buildings, roads and bridges have been reduced to rubble, and hospitals are overwhelmed. This is a massive humanitarian crisis, and it is going to be particularly tough on children and families who were already experiencing extreme poverty, hunger and violence. Your emergency aid can make a powerful difference as we work to help those most affected. So please, will you rush an emergency response gift now to support children and families impacted by the earthquake in Haiti? We are only just beginning to understand the scale of this earthquake – but we do know that children urgently need this community’s support. They need us right now, in the immediate aftermath of this disaster. They will continue to need us to help them grow up healthy, educated and safe as their communities recover and rebuild. That’s why we’re asking you to make an emergency gift today, Friend: Please rush every dollar you can to help children who are affected by the devastation in Haiti. Thank you for giving what you can to support children, especially in moments of crisis. Save the Children | |
